Manual Handling Training for Home Care Workers

Manual Handling Training for Support Workers

Work Safely. Protect Clients. Prevent Injury.

Manual Handling Training for Support Workers is essential for anyone in the disability, aged care, or community support sectors. Each day, support workers assist clients with mobility, personal care, and daily living activities. These tasks may include helping someone shower, dress, move from bed to chair, or reposition comfortably. Without the correct techniques, these everyday actions can result in serious injuries for both the worker and the client.

This course provides the skills and knowledge needed to handle clients safely, while maintaining dignity and comfort at all times. You will learn how to use proper body mechanics, follow best-practice strategies, and work confidently in environments that may be small, awkward, or challenging.

Our training reflects real-world care and support situations. You will practise safe lifting, lowering, and repositioning techniques, as well as the correct use of assistive equipment such as slide sheets, hoists, and transfer belts. In addition, you will learn how to adapt manual handling methods for each client’s needs and environment.

For employers, providing Manual Handling Training for Support Workers demonstrates a commitment to workplace safety, supports Work Health and Safety (WHS) compliance, reduces injury-related absences, and helps improve service quality.

What You Will Learn

  • The core principles of safe manual handling in support work

  • Correct techniques for assisting with mobility and personal care

  • How to use assistive equipment effectively and safely

  • Strategies to protect the back, shoulders, and joints during work

  • How to adjust manual handling methods for confined or complex spaces

When support workers handle clients safely, they protect their own health and provide a higher standard of care. This course empowers you to work with confidence, safeguard client wellbeing, and prevent unnecessary injury.

For more training in the care sector, explore our WHS for Care and Support Workers and SAFE Mental Health Conversations for Leaders and HR courses.
